Kevin,
Yesterday I was approached about this and zipped up my 8.1 AREMAIL directory 
for you. I just checked with Support and they attached a zip of the AREMAIL 
folder to the case last night.
Hopefully you find it. I will chat with the TSA and make sure you get it.

That’s the issue.  We don’t have an existing windows install to copy the files 
from and BMC has not been able to provide us binaries.  My ticket was 
supposedly escalated to engineering and we got the same response, which was 
RTFM (read the frickin manual).

With that being said, the only option Support have given me is to do a full 
install of ARS in a windows environment on a VM just to grab these files.  
Seems like a lot of overheard, especially when the 8.1.00 allows us to just 
install email.

MAPI is our only option.  This is a government agency and they have handcuffed 
us on the options we have.

Thanks all for the responses.

I had the requirement back in 6.0 and 6.3. I did just like you mentioned with 
Linux AR Server and a Windows utility server where I installed the Email Engine 
so MAPI could be used. Of course that was when different components could be 
selected in the installer.

This might not be ideal but you should be able to copy the email engine 
directory from an existing Windows install, modify the config and run the batch 
file to install as a service. The trick is getting somebody to send you the 
Windows binaries (I would think BMC could do this, they have plenty of Windows 
environments they could grab a copy from), you might be able to dig it out of 
the installer files (I see an emailengine dir under Disk1 -> files) or you 
could install AR Server into a throwaway Windows sandbox just to grab the EE 
binaries.

With that said, I typically try to stay away from MAPI. In my experience MAPI 
is least reliable out of MAPI, POP and IMAP. Is it possible to setup your own 
email server for Remedy? At my last org we were faced with a similar situation 
and I was determined to move away from MAPI so I installed hMailServer (it was 
all Windows environment). We used IMAP against hMailServer and had Exchange 
setup to forward a few older existing addresses as well as a sub domain to our 
mail server. It added another potential point of failure however we had 
considerably less issues with incoming email vs using MAPI and the server guys 
were no longer complaining about all of the servers we had Outlook installed on.

I support a government entity that also runs under the same guidelines, but
THEY insist on using certificate authentication to get access so ID/PW
won't workthey had to build out a very complicated REST implementation
to pull the email out of the email engine.

Re: Configure Incoming Email

2018-08-09 Thread Brian Pancia
We had this setup for a client.  It is an all windows environment.  That 
shouldn't be a big issue having ARServer on a Linux box though.  BMC Support 
was able to provide us with instructions on installing the email engine on a 
separate machine, since you couldn't select it separately in the installers.  
We actually just used a workstation running Windows 7.  The email engine was an 
older version than the ARServer, which wasn't a major issue.  Probably not 
ideal, but it works.  The email engine wasn't to resource intensive, so using a 
workstation has worked fine.  We are in the process of moving it to a shared 
server though.  We've had this setup like this for a few years.  We ran into 
the issue of the server folks not wanting to load outlook client on the server. 
 If I can dig up some old notes I will post how we did the install.  BMC 
Support should be able to walk you through it though.


Regards,


Brian

Re: Configure Incoming Email

2018-08-09 Thread Jason Miller
I had the requirement back in 6.0 and 6.3. I did just like you mentioned
with Linux AR Server and a Windows utility server where I installed the
Email Engine so MAPI could be used. Of course that was when different
components could be selected in the installer.

This might not be ideal but you should be able to copy the email engine
directory from an existing Windows install, modify the config and run the
batch file to install as a service. The trick is getting somebody to send
you the Windows binaries (I would think BMC could do this, they have plenty
of Windows environments they could grab a copy from), you might be able to
dig it out of the installer files (I see an emailengine dir under Disk1 ->
files) or you could install AR Server into a throwaway Windows sandbox just
to grab the EE binaries.

With that said, I typically try to stay away from MAPI. In my experience
MAPI is least reliable out of MAPI, POP and IMAP. Is it possible to setup
your own email server for Remedy? At my last org we were faced with a
similar situation and I was determined to move away from MAPI so I
installed hMailServer (it was all Windows environment). We used IMAP
against hMailServer and had Exchange setup to forward a few older existing
addresses as well as a sub domain to our mail server. It added another
potential point of failure however we had considerably less issues with
incoming email vs using MAPI and the server guys were no longer complaining
about all of the servers we had Outlook installed on.

Configure Incoming Email

2018-08-09 Thread Kevin Shaffer
We are an ARS 8.1.02 Unix install base.  We have a requirement to enable 
incoming email, however the only protocol we can use is MAPI.  Is this possible 
and how?

I thought we could install email engine and the 32 bit outlook client on a 
separate windows box to meet this requirement.  I thought there was an 
installer from Email Engine.  In 8.1.02, the AR Server Installer is just one 
installer and you can't select the components.  8.1.00 has a separate Email 
Engine installer but I am told by BMC Support that I cant run 8.1.00 Email 
Engine against 8.1.02 system.  BMC Support has also sent me instructions on 
remotely installing email engine but I think those instructions are for a like 
environment (Unix to Unix or Windows to Windows)

I am wondering if anyone has had this requirement before and how they 
implemented the solution.

Thanks in advance.
